Author selfie—but this one feels different. Our newest @sabeti_lab paper came out as conflict escalated between Israel & Iran, our birth countries. A reminder of how fragile the world can be & a reminder of what’s possible: across borders & conflict, individuals can still choose to build together.
Thank you to Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and National Public Health Agency for their inspired leadership in the #mpox response and to Danaher for supporting them by donating 10,000 Cepheid Xpert diagnostic tests
Proud of my crew @fathom.info who turned around a version of our “Lookout” platform in just six hours after receiving data for the Sierra Leone outbreak. We've been working with Pardis and Christian since 2020, and while the circumstances are devastating, we've been building for moments like this.

Sameed Siddiqui@sameedms.bsky.social · 2y ago🧬 Meet Lyra, a new paradigm for accessible, powerful modeling of biological sequences. Lyra is a lightweight SSM achieving SOTA performance across DNA, RNA, and protein tasks—yet up to 120,000x smaller than foundation models (ESM, Evo). Bonus: you can train it on your Mac. arxiv.org/abs/2503.16351
